One On One with Kelly McCrimmon

Brandon Wheat Kings GM/Head Coach Kelly McCrimmon is one of the smartest minds in the game. So I thought I'd ask McCrimmon a series of questions, not dealing specifically with his team but the league as a whole.

What does McCrimmon think of NHL GM's discussing the possibility of issuing a minor penalty to a player who leaves both of his feet when blocking a shot? Would McCrimmon like to see more 20 year-olds in the WHL? Cell phone use is common place by WHL players these days, but can it be a problem on the road? Listen and find out.

Who will win the BC Division this season?

World Gym Kelowna/West Kelowna

Will Cal Foote and Kole Lind be taken in the first round of the NHL draft?
